Beginning June 13, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will implement temporary service frequency adjustments on 31 of its 97 bus routes due to the ongoing nationwide shortage of bus operators. For more information about these changes, please visit dart.org/servicechange.
To restore service reliability and dependability for all of our bus riders, DART is implementing a five-minute temporary reduction in frequency on most bus routes currently operating every 15 minutes. Some bus routes with 20-minute midday and early evening service will change to 30-minute services. Light rail service, as well as service on the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) and the Dallas Streetcar, will remain the same.
These temporary bus service frequency adjustments will ensure that passengers can rely on the DART bus service schedule, improving service and reducing bus stop wait times, while we continue to aggressively recruit new bus operators.
DART tentatively plans to return to the regular frequency on all services on January 23, 2023, based on bus operator hiring goals. As hiring continues, DART will continue to re-evaluate the temporary service frequency adjustments and adjust as necessary.

Bus Route Enhancements

DART Bus Route 220
To re-establish service south of Scyene Road, along Prairie Creek and St. Augustine, buses will operate on a loop south to Bruton Road. The change also adds a transfer connection along Bruton to Route 218, which will continue to serve Military Parkway. Riders on both routes are encouraged to obtain new timetables dated June 13, 2022, for slight variations in departure times.
GoLink Changes: North Dallas GoLink Zone
In response to rider requests, this zone is now being separated into two zones – providing enhanced service and improved response time. Fares and hours of operation remain the same for both new zones.
North Dallas GoLink Zone
This zone retains eight square miles of the original North Dallas zone and will be bounded by Forest Lane on the north, DART Rail Red and Orange lines on the east, Preston Road on the west, and University Boulevard, Boedeker Drive, and Northwest Highway on the south. Predetermined stops will include the Hillcrest Green Complex; Preston Royal Library; Texas Health Dallas; and Half Price Books. The stations served will be Walnut Hill, Park Lane, and Forest Lane.
North Central Dallas GoLink Zone
This four-square-mile zone combines the eastern portion of the original North Dallas zone with newly served areas to the north. Boundaries will be Midpark Road and Goldmark Drive on the north; Abrams Road on the east; Central Expressway and DART Rail Red and Orange lines on the west, and Walnut Hill Lane on the south. Predetermined stops will include the Walmart Supercenter on Forest Lane and Texas Health Dallas on Walnut Hill Lane. Stations served will be Walnut Hill, Forest Lane, and LBJ/Central.
Hours of operation will remain the same as in the current North Dallas zone. Travel between the two zones will require a separate booking.
Additional GoLink Enhancements
East Irving GoLink Zone
The northern boundary will be extended to include an adjacent industrial area. FedEx Ground, 3215 Spur 482 is now covered by this zone.

Central Irving GoLink Zone
The western boundary will be extended to serve several distribution destinations on DFW Airport property (2601, 3400, and 3500 S. Airfield Drive). This expands the zone to a 4.95 square mile area bounded by: Walnut Hill Lane, Country Club Road, Metker Street, John W. Carpenter and Cottonwood Valley on the north, Rochelle Boulevard on the east, Airport Freeway, Goodyear, Fairmont, and Hancock streets on the south and Harvard Street, Pleasant Run Road and Passport Avenue on the west.
